“…Initially, we created equipment with a ground part. The atmospheric-soil measuring complex (ASMC) is an automatic weather station with an additional set of soil sensors (A. V. Bazarov et al 2016;. ASMC stations can only be installed at year-round protected stations because they need protection from animals and non-law-abiding people.…”

Background: Soil moisture affects the moisture content of forest fuels and therefore flammability. However, due to the lack of a previously long series of soil moisture data based on observations, previous studies have taken into account fuel and soil moisture by calculating special indices based on meteorological indicators. The growing availability of soil moisture data is now making their inclusion in forest fire risk assessments more feasible. Sources of soil moisture information generally fall into one of three broad categories: in situ measurements, satellite remote sensing, and models. There are no open data on soil moisture measurements, and the soil temperature data series ends in 2013 in Russia.Results: In our work, we present a tool for monitoring soil parameters SMAT-meter. The device is designed for autonomous automatic measurement of soil moisture and temperature, and data transmission to the Recorder Control Center via cellular communication. Power is supplied by a solar panel. SMAT-meter measurements will provide in situ soil moisture and temperature data for forest fire hazard modeling.Conclusions: SMART-meter allows you to organize monitoring of the hydrothermal regime of soils. Weather station data covers the need for atmospheric meteorological data. Copies of the SMAT-meter on various types of soils, organized in a network, in conjunction with weather stations, can provide comprehensive monitoring of the onset of forest fire danger.

“…Measurements of meteorological parameters in the lower layer of the surface atmosphere were carried out using the autonomous atmospheric-soil measuring complex (ASMC) [6], installed at the Forest-steppe permafrost-ecological station «Eravninsky» (figure 1). The station is located near the Big Eravninsky Lakes, in the transitional permafrost zone of the Vitim Plateau.…”

The inhomogeneity of the atmosphere causes curvature (refraction) of the beam path of ultra-short radio waves. Under normal conditions, this trajectory curves towards the surface of the Earth, and its curvature is about one quarter of the curvature of the earth's surface. Under critical conditions, the appearance of the phenomenon of "superrefraction" is possible. A feature of ultra-short radio waves is the fact that meteorological conditions influence their propagation. Measurements of meteorological parameters at h1 = 2 and h2 = 10 meters were carried out using an atmospheric-soil measuring complex installed in the southwestern part of the Vitim Plateau. It has been established that in this layer the spread of refractivity gradient values is from –0.820 to +0.307 N-units. It was found that meteorological conditions favorable for the appearance of superrefraction are observed in the given area in the summer.

“…A total of 104 water samples were taken from the bogs. Water level observations were carried out using an autonomous differential pressure sensor [35] in the GVM and in manual mode in the BB and SB areas. The temperature of the peat deposits was measured using DS18B20 sensors [35] installed within the GVM.…”

This study investigated the heavy metal concentrations in bog and stream water compared to present-day atmospheric deposition, and concentrations in peat and vegetation within three typical raised bogs in Western Siberia located in urban area, close to oil and gas facilities and in the natural background area. Our data showed that elevated heavy metals deposition occurs not only near industrial centres but also in remote areas, which is a sign of regional atmospheric deposition of heavy metals associated with long-range transport and wildfires. Present-day atmospheric depositions of heavy metals are not always consistent with their contents in waters, and the content of Zn, Pb, Cu and Cd in waters is more correlated with their concentrations in vegetation and in the upper peat layer; this indicates a significant role of biological processes in heavy metal cycling. Temperature plays an important role in increasing the mobility and vegetation uptake of heavy metals. Heavy metals removal is largely determined by the size of the bog and its stage of development, which determines bog–river interaction. The seasonal catchment-scale budget indicated that 80–97% of Zn and Pb and 47–74% of Cu and Cd from atmospheric inputs remained within the catchments.
